The strength and success of an organization is the sacrifice from those leading the organization.
A good leader is known and recognized by his uncompromising decision for result, he abhors selfishness, ego, envy and malice to achieve meaningful success. A good leader does not look for who to witch-hunt or blackmail, but goes for assets and professionalism not minding whether he loves the person or not.
Such desired sacrifices are what is currently required in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to be able to dislodge its numerous challenges.
In the past, some notable leaders of the party had let go of their personal interests for the sustenance of genuine reconciliation, peace and unity of the party.
Such individuals had foregone their political ambitions and resources invested for the sake of peace and tranquillity of the party.
One remarkable thing that has happened to the PDP is the availability of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, popularly known as Samdaddy.
He has made unimaginable sacrifices to retain the impeccable image of PDP before and currently.
As Local Government Executive Chairman, Senator Anyanwu sacrificed his comfort and official powers when political back-biters and witch-hunters struggled in vain to blackmail him.
He did not use his position to fight back but instead subjected himself to due process and accepted to pass through all those that wished him bad, alas, his enemies were put to shame after the attempt on his pedigree.
As Member of the State Assembly, Senator Anyanwu sacrificed his personal comfort by rejecting all entreaties by the then APC Government of Owelle Okorocha to induce him to join the party.
Senator Anyanwu did not only reject all financial offers to be lured into the APC, but did his best to convert most of his colleagues in the Assembly to join his party, PDP.
At the Senate as a first timer, Senator Anyanwu maintained his cool and stood his ground when the APC government of Muhammad Buhari threatened to shake the red Chambers.
As a smart and dogged Lawmaker, Senator Anyanwu moved the first motion in the Chambers passing an implicit vote of confidence in the then President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki.
This motion no doubt sustained the peace, unity and growth of the Assembly thereby making the 8th Senate the most viable, formidable and organized.
Currently as National Secretary of PDP, Senator Anyanwu has proved his leadership mettle, administration sagacity and social coordination in galvanizing issues concerning the party.
In the party, Senator Anyanwu has made lots of sacrifices and still ready to sacrifice more, all geared towards the unity and growth of PDP.
He has donated millions to the party from Ward to State, paid office rent for the party from Ward to State, donated vehicles, empowered PDP women/youths from Ward to State and restored the party’s policy trust.
Records have it that Senator Anyanwu has remained the most blackmailed, cajoled, insulted and criticized National Secretary of PDP by his brothers and sisters from Imo State who wished he never won that position. All these were meant to deter him from his functions.
As a coordinated politician, he has remained focused, dedicated and articulate in pursuing his dreams. When some sponsored disgruntled elements within the party were incited to malign him and drag his image to the mud during the 2022 primaries, Senator Anyanwu displayed high level of maturity in handling the whole provocation.
What these people who refused to make sacrifices in the PDP failed to understand is that power belongs to God and whoever He gives power, no one queries Him.
While Senator Anyanwu is thinking for the growth, victory and success of PDP, others are desperate, pushing down people, blackmailing and fueling crises against PDP fir their selfish desires.
